From this month's featured article The Rolling Lounge Network Opening was a server update that happened on November 21st of 2021, where Rolling Lounge was turned into a network instead of just a server and spread to a total of four topic-specific servers, the so called Districts. The servers were made accessible through a portal channel inside of all Rolling Lounge Network servers.

After the Rolling Lounge era had started in early 2020, the community's activity started to decrease. People had searched for potential causes and solutions for this happening.

This question had stayed all the way from the start of the era until 2021, where a theory was formed on why the server had gotten in such a situation. One study of this theory included the clear benefit of a server if it has a defined topic. At that time, Rolling Lounge's Community Center, the Main Chat had issues building up conversations, which was explained with this theory.

To fix this problem, solutions were searched by the management, which came to the conclusion to take a concept of server management done by other servers on Discord which was Networking, a way to make servers more topic-specific. Starting from October to November, the network structure was planned and then eventually built until its initial release in November 21st of 2021.

 * The topic Rolling Sky Remake was moved to the RL | Rolling Sky Remake server.
 * The RL | Appeal server was added to give people the possibility to question sentences made to punish them. (Full article...)
